Diet and exercise: There are no secrets to weight loss. Everyone knows the answer even though we don't like it --- diet and exercise. It is hard and a slow challenging process. If your body mass index is over 35 indicating obesity you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery. This helped me lose 100 lbs and keep it off for 6 years so far!
